Parking problems extend off campus By Patty Lane

Staff Writer Overcrowded parking lots at Palomar College continue to force students to hunt for parking offcampus in surrounding residential

areas.

Paloma residents are angry that their neighborhood has become an alternate Palomar parking lot.

Students say they are parking in the adjacent housing communities because there are no available spaces. "Fridays are lighter days, but during the week I just park out here," said student Steve Ark. Many of the residents who live in the Paloma development are not happy that the cars have taken over their neighborhood. Mirella King,

who has lived in the development for three years said that she usually notices a drop-off after the semester begins, but said it seems to be getting worse. King's main concern is with the safety of her child. "There is no way any mom is going to let their kid cross the street," she said. She said that the road around her quiet little home is "like a freeway," when students are looking for a place to park. Even though students who park illegally get ticketed, King said it is a real hazard because of the possibility of not having access to a flre hydrant in an emergency.

ASG tightens money belt Palomar clubs banned from selli"g food

By Roger Fregoso Staff Writer

Wednesday's Associated Student Government began with a disclaimer from the panel's adviser: spend ASG money cautiously because the funds in accounts are quickly dwindling. "I encouraged the ASG to think of all the ramiflcations in their spending," said Student Activities Director Jim Bowen. Newly appointed Treasurer Erik Drinkwater agreed with the adviser. "If we're going to spend money, let's not take it in big chunks," Drinkwater told his colleagues. He noted the emergency reserves account currently held $3,000. The student government did put Bowen's disclaimer into action at the meeting. With over $13,600 on the agenda slated to be spent, they only approved $2900 for a new audio board at KKSM, the campus radio station, and $2,500 to renew a contract for a legislative computer program. KKSM staff members asked for money • ·to replace their audio board which is over 20 years old and not up to date with technology. The reasoning for allocating money, according to some ASG members, was that the funds will come from the vending budget, an account which is usually difficult to get money from. Bowen was pleased to see that his advice was taken seriously. "I think honest discussion and debate came about how much they should spend and how," he said. "I think it's healthy for them to go slow and not treat (spending) as if it was their own money," Bowen added. He believes it was necessary to caution the group on their spending habits. The student government postponed allo-

eating $1,500 for a new ASG office com. puter. Senator Garrett Collins introduced this item because he said their two computers do not have enough memory and there are too many people that have to wait in line to use them. If this request was approved, it would leave the facilities account with a zero bal-

ance. Action on a request of $1,000 to restore the "P'' on the mountain behind campus was also postponed until the next meeting. Renewing a $2,500 annual contract for a legislative computer program was also highly debated. Legitech is a computer program similar to a news wire which sends legislative information from Sacramento to the ASG office via a modem. Some argued that the ASG students don't use the system enough to make it worth the amount. Joanne Laviolette, a student employee who coordinates student events, mentioned that perhaps Legitech could be made accessible to more students such as political science majors. A majority of ASG members agreed and the recommendation to approve the contract passed. ASG also postponed approving $4,200 for their travel expenses until the next meeting. When ASG members travel to lobby elected offlcials on student-related issues, their expenses are paid out of the student representation account, money accumulated fromthe$1 fee students pay every semester. Proposed expenditures include $3,000 for meals, lodging, transportation and registration for the entire group to attend a Legislative Conference in Sacramento May 710. The second half of the travel expenses include $1,200 for the Chancellors Offlce Mega Conference in Irvine April1-3. • See ASG, page 1

In what's been deScribed as a "frustrating" decision, Palomar clubs will be required to curtail selling food as a means of raising funds. According to Auxiliary Services Director Virginia Dower, the decision was made following presspre from tbe stale Health Department for all groups ~ food to comply with state regulations.

NEWS 'Streetfighter' game means business Video game's popularity already surpassing original estimations By Salvador Marquez Open Forum Editor The ASG and Student Services are making a killing from students killing each other-in video games. Original! y estimated by Student Services to earn $23,000 for the fiscal year of 19921993, the campus arcade bas already netted approximately $18,000 since July 1, according to Marilyn Lunde, Student Activities Secretary. By the end of the fiscal year, the arcade will net approximately $5,000 more than originally anticipated, according to ASG president Lowell Kepics. This additional money, however, will go to offset the expected shortfall of other fundraising efforts, Kepics said. The reason for this increase in arcade profits may be linked to the "Streetfigbter" three-game series- "Streetfigbter II," "Street:figbterll: The Championship Edition" and "Streetfigbterll: Turbo." Although individually each game is not the most-played combined, the "Streetfigbter" series is the top money-making machine on campus. "When they brought in 'Streetfighter' and the 'Championship Edition,' yes, I was very excited," said Lunde. "I knew that students liked those games and I could expect that they would be money-makers." "Streetfigbter"isagameinwhichaplayer will choose one of eight or 12 characters, each with various fighting strengths and weaknesses. The player can choose to combat the computer or another player in a twoout-of-three martial arts video match. The one-on-one aspect of the game is the prime attraction to "Streetfighter," its fans claim.

Students play the popular "Streetfighter II: The Championship Edition" located in the arcade adjacent to the Student Union. This game, together with the other two ''Streetfighter'' games, have netted approximately $18,000 since its introduction in July. "It'saboutrevengeandtryingtobe 'Kingof-the-Hill,"' said Devin Gallagher, music major and "Streetfighter" devotee. Others claim the sophistication of the game's programming and graphics are its appeal. ''The game is not a typical 'punch and kick' game," said Shawn Holmes, a creative writing major. "It requires intuition andstrategy. You have to anticipate what the other person is going to do. There are a lot of moves to master. To be good at the game,

you have to master every character. It's a competitive game. There's a certain tbrillin beating the other guy." However, competition may get out of hand On Monday, Feb. 22, a real fight brokeoutbetween two "Streetfigbter"players. According to witnesses, the altercation began when one player took offense to a criticism of his game play. Although the criticism came from a byStander, the player mistakenly thought the

Computer system to revolutionize services By Barbra Dijak Staff Writer

computer to interface with the video disk containing commonlyasked questions. The computers cost an estimated $10,000 each. Students access the system by touching a square on the screen which corresponds to the task they wish to complete. Eventually, the system will also be able to provide information on book lists and courses necessary for the student to earn a degree. The idea for the system came from a similar project in the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District in Northern California. Members of Palomar's educational television staff did the filming for PASS. Approximately 2,000 students accessed information from PASS last semester. Halttunen said the computers will almost pay for themselves by freeing up staff for Tonya Davis accesses the PASS system in the Library. The system, also located in the Student Services other duties. Âˇ Center, will enable students to gain information previously available only through Admissions.

A new computer system will soon enable students to quickly access information formerly available only through Admissions and Records. The PASS (Palomar Automated Self Service) stations, created by Linda Halttunen, director of matriculation, are located in both the Student Services building and the Library. According to Herman Lee, Director of Admissions, the system will make it possible for students to view their grades, print a copy of their schedule and get a map of the college. Currently, students may take a video tour of the campus and also attain information on student services such as job placement A consultant was hired to script the information and prepare the

Customizing textbooks may soon reduce costs By Kathy Combs Staff Writer Whilerisingfeescontinuetotake a bite out of students' budgets, a move toward combining resources and taking advantage of computer technology is helping Palomar chip away at the high cost of textbooks. By using a "custom textbook service" offered by the bookstore, instructors are easing the load on students' budgets by combining several textbooks into one. The bookstore acts as a liasion between the instructor and the publisher to gain permission to print the book and then prints the copies. In addition to consolidating information from a variety of sources, out-ofprint books can also be recreated. Chemistry Professor Dave Boyajian said the system creates an "attractive situation," especially when a textbook has been outdated by a new edition. Although it may not be to their advantage, instructors are "forced to go to the next edition," he said.

"And every time the cost goes up." Boyajian used sections from three lab books to create a custom book. While the price for each lab textbook runs about $28, the custom lab book sold for less then $5. There are a few disadvantages to the system. Due to the amount of time it takes to obtained rights to reprint the material, requests for the books must be made months in advance. Also, the textbooks can't be resold to the bookstore. According to bookstore manager Michael Shaeffer, the books are not bound or are loosely bound making it difficult to determine if the returned copy contains all the pages. But custom textbooks are the waveofthefuture. At the University of California, San Diego, hardbound, reusuable textbooks can literally be produced overnight using a computer automated system called "Primis." Using a computer terminal, instructors can selectandreviewupto75,000pages

of text, photos and illustrations across nine academnic disciplines. Selections are sent to the Primis system where they are electronically organized and assembled on a central computer. The text is then sent to a high-speed printer at UCSD where it is printed and bound. Because colleges are charged for each page they print, instructors can pass savings on to students by only including data that fits their class structure. According to Primis representative Dudley Land, 500 copies can be produced in a few working days. Although the cost of the book depends on the information selected, Land estimates the average cost at about 7 cents per page. The Palomar bookstore is also combining their resources with others colleges to keep more money in the coffer by cutting hefty freight charges. Because enrollment is unpredictable, ordering the correct number of books is a difficult task. Palomar spends over $50,000 per year returning hundreds of thou-

sands of unsold books, Shaeffer said. To curb overstocking and to get out-of-stock books into a student's hands as quickly as possible, the bookstore uses the Master Textbook List, a service that allows colleges throughout the state to "pool" their inventory. While saving money by keeping their inventories lean, books can be exchanged and delivered to a store within a few days. Because most book publishers are located on the East Coast their average delivery time runs about 10 days. Regardless of the textbooks' price tags the bookstore operates with a slim profit margin. After deducting opei"ating expenses such as salaries and the monthly mortgage payment, the store is left with a 1 percent profit, Shaeffer said. Bookstore profits are used by the Associated Student Government to fund new and existing programs and services at Palomar. "It comes down to efficiency," Shaeffer said "We have to make

ends meet" The Master Textbook List is not computer automated at this time, but MTL Committee Chair Rich Taylor says there are plans on the drawing board to automate the system and form a college "network" in the future. Colleges use unlimited types of computer hardware and software making it difficult to produce a product that is compatible with everyone's computer system, be said. Shaeffer said he would like to see all Palomar educators join the effort to curb prices. Because instructors independently choose books for their classes, one department may order a variety of textbooks from several publishers. If departments used the same titles money could be saved, he said. Shaeffer also suggested using "generic textbooks," if possible. These books are printed without costly color graphs and photos. "T(!achers need to be judicious about" their choice of books," be said.

Seminar suggests unbiased treatment for men and women _ By Arnetta Hilton Staff Writer According to a male liberation advocate, society should show as much empathy "for saving males as we have for saving whales."

ARTS~ ENTERTAINMENT Director takes on musical genre in 'Strictly Ballroom' By Jeff Robinson

Staff Writer

Director Baz Luhnnann behind the camera in ..Strictly Ballroom.''

Thecurtainsopen andtheovernrre begins, drawing the audience member into the fairy-tale world of the ballroom competition circuit. The film is "Strictly Ballroom," and although it sounds like a theatrical piece, it is in fact a part of the re-emerging musical genre of' 90s cinema. During an interview director Baz Lurhmann said he had worked on a theatrical version of"Strictly Ballroom" during his stay at the National Institute ofDramatic Arts in Sydney, Australia. It wasn't until after he graduated that he revised the script and directed a highly successful run of the play at the Warff Theater in Sydney. Even with its success Lurhmann's mind was envisioning a screen version. Lurhmann knew from the start that he wanted to give this piece a unique feel.

"Storytelling, particularly in cinema in the last 20 years, has gone towards supernanrralism or social realism. I'm looking for something different, more heightened, and less natural and I think that's where the musical form comes in." Once production on "Strictly Ballroom" began, he realized that his ftlm had the potential to be at the forefront of the musical comeback. "Everyone was, and is, absolutely obsessed in fmding the musical form of the' 90s. For years now we've thought the video culnrre and the storytelling culnrre were going to unite, creating a storytelling music cinema, like the golden age of Hollywood in the '40s," he said. Lurhmann feels that musical films "are not filmed plays but not nanrralisticeither. I suppose that's what I wanted to say very clearly at the beginning of the film, (that) this is not about reality. This is a fairy-tale told in a bizarre world that is a microcosm for the world at

large." The film has been described by many as a modem day Cinderella story, a fact that Lurhmann also notes. "There are actually no new stories. Yes, we are using the Cinderella myth and the David and Goliath myth in this particular piece, but if you actually analyze any linear story it will relate to some basic myth." "The whole point of telling a fairy-tale is for the emotional payoff at the ending. 'In the land far, far away it begins and it ends and they lived happily ever after."' And happily ever after may just be the right catch phrase for both Lurhmann and his film. After its completion last year, "Strictly Ballroom" has gone on to win a number of nominations from the Australian Film Institute (Australian Oscars) as well as awards at the Chicago and Cannes Film Festivals. "Strictly Ballroom" starts its exclusive San Diego engagement today at the Park Theater.

The Grove Playhouse, sandwiched between the Pic 'N Save and a neon-lit bowling alley in the Marketplace at the Grove shopping center, houses a unique, cheek-by-jowl auditorium wherein the audience can feel every sigh and whisper. It was an ideal setting for production company Octad-One's ''The Lady from Dubuque," a gutwrenching, emotion-fllled story. From where the audience sits less than ~ feet from the groundlevel stage, the acidity of the characters and the ruthlessness of their actions spiraled me toward an enveloping chasm of human despair and self-loathing. The fact that "Dubuque" is an interactive play where the actors often looked directly at the audience made it even mo~ unnerving. Written by Edward Albee, the play deals with a man's refusal to let his wife who is dying of cancer go. Wayne Allen Erreca stars as the husband Sam, and Pauline Whitake plays his wife Jo. As with Albee's other plays, such as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," the consumption of alcohol is the main instigator of conflict between the main characters. Throughout the play Jo constantly badgers Sam about her fatal condition until he is a physical

Their friends, played by Karen Lust, Kelsie Lee Parker, Candace Souleles and Anthony Turk seem as helpless as Sam once they subjected to the same abuse. As the story progresses, It is apparent that Sam is not aware of the responsibilty he will have to take once Jo sinks deeper into her illness. Salvation comes in the second act in the form of a mysterious, elegant woman played by Joan

Kearns and her black companion, Ted Jones. Posing as Jo's mother, Kearn forces Sam to look at his own fear ofletting Jodie as insignificant to the pain she feels. Anyone yearning for emotionally-draining-in-your-face entertainment will be satisfied by this play even before the house lights come up at the end. '"The Lady from Dubuque" will run until March 21 at The Grove Playhouse. Call 583-2418 for more information.

COUNTERPOINT

Trial system works despite the media

Hatred and politics nullify a fair trial

By Christine Doan Staff Writer

By Holly Denecke Staff Writer

t began last June and shook the country. Now it seems like it could start all over again. The men who were tried for the beating of Rodney G. King are back again for an encore, only this time on federal charges of civil rights abuse. Unfortunately, they won't get that fair, speedy trial that is guaranteed to them by the U.S. Constitution. How can they? The deck is stacked against them. First and foremost, this case is being tried in Los Angeles. Is that fair? Why hasn't this case been moved somewhere less visible? There is a precedent and a legal action called "change of venue." Why wasn't this implemented? Strike one. The jury for this trial has been selected. If you read the papers you will read that nine jurors are white, two are black and one is Hispanic. Who wasn't glued to their televisions or radios as Los Angeles went up in flames? Who could possibly be unbiased when p~eÂ sented with the facts; the brutal beating of an unarmed man by the LAPD? Strike two. Rodney King is no angel or model citizen himself, but he was beaten by the police. New medical testimony from a military medical team state that King was struck at least five times focally, which means by a blunt instrument. This evidence was not brought out in the state trial, unfortunately, and double indemnity prevents another trial. Here again, evidence that could have been crucial to the state trial conveniently comes out after it is over. How can the trial be fair if all the evidence is not presented? As if this wasn't enough, the harassment of the jurors was unforgivable. These poor people were faced with one of the most controversial and highly publicized issues in the last decade and they were treated like Nazi terrorists. They have to be nervous, if not outright scared of the consequences of the decision they are being asked to make. Strike three - this trial is out.

o us a favor, America, and offer the hurt and frustrated L.A. communities some poetic justice. Lose all sense of what a Constitution is about. Forget the right of an equally represented and fair trial. Just lynch those four previously acquitted white policemen in that black man beating. The Rodney King re-trial (media edition) is a political freak show full of excuses to masquerade the fact that it will be a fair and honest trial and that justice will be served. The jury of nine whites, two bJilcks, and one Latino headline newspapers. It is not necessary to rilake an explosive matter a racial issue. But leave it to the media to fuel the flames of heated over-reaction. They are admitting color is the precursor of justice. What a cop out. By emphasizing color, it disguises the issue that these jurors were randomly picked in random districts around the Los Angeles county. These jurors will be in a room several hours a day, five days a week for several weeks. It'll be in and out of the courtroom with no discussion or outside viewing, reading on the case they're working on. Thesepeoplehaveasworn duty for their country. It is inevitable that the jury will discuss and hear things the rest of the country can't access. Loyola law professor Laurie Levenson commented on the jury makeup with, ''There will be people of color that can bring that perspective to deliberations." Levenson can heat this up to a racial issue and not what it should be, a civil human trial. The case will be surrounded by witnesses not just in the courtroom, but civil advocates, lawyers, and judges all around the country. It will not be a verdict by the emotional ignoramuses of L.A. but a decision of a constructed solid system of justice. Keep in mind: The Constitution, human rights, a tried-and-true system plus the '90s liberal attitude all sums up to a fair trial.

"I think they'll get a fair trial. I can't believe three cops with guns and blackjacks can't subdue one guy."

''Nobody deserved to get beaten like King. The police should have had more control and professionalism."

"It's a catch-22. If they get off, the jury will be accused ofbeing racist"

''The jurors made an oath to make the best decision they can. I'll have to trust they'llkeeptheirword."

Good news for night owls S

tudents who stay out late at night have one less thing to worry about. Campus Patrol, in conjunction with Pinkerton Secwity, will escort students to their cars, via electric cart or patrol car. The service is easy to use. Before 10 p.m., dial "0"- the campus switchboardwhowillpageCampusPatrol.After 10p.m., contact Pinkerton by dialing extension 2999 on any campus phone, then the pager number 202. Leave a short message (where you are and what you need) and be sure to repeat · the message. If using a pay phone, call 744-1150 (the college number), then the extension and pager number. If for some reason Pinkerton cannot be contacted through its pager, call its night dispatcher at 746-7792. The dispatcher will notify a guard though radio. In a time when the potential for violent crime is a grim campus reality, having a nighttime escort is an intelligent answer to the question of crime prevention. And for those who think escorts are only for women, wise up. Muggers are equal opportunity predators. Why take chances? Ask for a ride to your car. If it is late, and if you are alone, take advantage of this escort service. After all, an ounce of crime prevention is better than a pounding.

.Racistn is for tnindless sheep elcome to my headphone universe, a place - like thought - that exists between my ears. Anyone who is stereotyped can understand this - a frustration that resembles an existentialist nightmare. Like a caged animal, free expression amounts to constantly banging away at invisible barriers set by some unknown jailer, known as "society." Perhaps stereotypes are like physics laws; something observed to happen repeatedly. That's the problem with stereotypes, they are constantly repeated- mindlessly. After all, does anyone speculate why "White Men can't Jump?" Why are female lead guitarists, black quarterbacks, Asian romantic leads so impossible to find? It's simple: stereotyping is lazy thinking, someone else sets limits to our perception of others. Those who strike against these limits exist in a world mindful of what the world expects from them but refuse to obey. The rest, who accept stereotypes, have the mind and spirit of sheep. Unfortunately, there will always be stereotyping- it's easier and less taxing. Ste. reo typing can be a comforting thing; there's safety in numbers. So as a Hispanic, oveiWeight, heavy metalloving Christian, I realize my boundaries have already been set by stereotypers. Those four adjectives have done more to define me than my entire column. Frankly, I expect some to have stopped reading by now. Studying those who would classify me so quickly, I can see why others believe Black History Month is a 29-day whine and cry session for African-Americans. These same people, these mindless sheep, need to throw away their security blankets and realize minorities are more than cheap caricatures. Unfortunately, I have no month to rally around, but I have a device. As.I put on my headphones to revisit my world of expression, I put the volume on "high." The headphones are necessary- no one else on staff likes metal, much less "Christian" thrash. The noise from the headphones will annoy some, offend others, but a few will be curious - wanting to know what is inside the headphones. Curiosity is the beginning of an open mind, which is the end of racism.

LIFESTYLE Java By Christine Doan Staff Writer It's a meeting place for Fridaynighters and sanctuary for intellects. It sometimes holds a sober environment and at other times a chic aura about it complete with an attitude check at the door. Anything and everything can be experienced at the coffee house. It's an addiction sweeping the nation (not just Seattle). Everywhere one looks, it's coffee this and coffee that Newspapers are raving about the latest coffee house concept: from a newly-opened hip singles coffee bar in Pacific Beach to a Tierrasanta outfit that offers an espresso while they wash your dog. There's also the new Discafe in La Jolla where one can listen to C.D.s of their choice on private headsets while munching on a pastry with a cup of java. Something must be happening to explain all the coffee shops that pop up around every comer. Their existence creates a presence open to interpretation of how coffee shops relate to people. ''They come to drink good coffee and socialize. It doesn't take much out of people like bowling or something," says a man who goes by just Rick.

SPORTS Foul ball By Kristian Pope Staff Writer There are two sides to every story. Believing there are two points to every argument is what my father has always taught me.

Comets crash and burn against Golden West By Martin o•Neil

Sports Writer The Palomar men's volleyball

team went into Wednesday's match against Golden West college looking for their first conference victory. However, inconsistent play by the Comets was their downfall as they lost their second consecutive conference match in three close sets 15-13, 15-10, 15-12. "All the games were close, we weren't playing very well but I was very proud of our team for staying in the match," said Palomar volleyball coach Duncan McFarland. "Wehadaroughnight, and we have had a real problem with injuries lately. Wearen'tplaying real well right now but I was glad that they battled as hard as they did." Hot and cold are two words that can best describe the Comets play. Cold. Early in game one Palomar made many hitting and communicational errors and fell down 14-6. Hot Palomar started to raise theiJ game as they went on a 7-0 run to pull to within one point 14-13 before dropping the first set 15-13. Hot The Comets carried their late ftrst game surge over into the second as they spiked their way to a 9-4 lead early in the second set behind second year player Mike Baglio's team high 13 kills. Cold. Suddenly, Palomar seemed torelaxandplayedoutofsynch.Golden West took advantage by scoring 11 of the fmal 12 points of the second set willlling 15-10. Coach McFarland feels that a key to Palomar's success will be to play better defense.

Palomar Comet volleyball player Matt Bagleo (#15) sets up tbe ball to teammate Dave Hollingsworth (#8) at last week•s borne game. ''We have to start blocking better," said McFarland. "We are not blocking balls for points, that is probably our weakest skill right now. It would have made a huge difference tonight as their team was pounding a lot of balls into the block and we just weren't stuffmg them." In game three, Palomar played their best game of the match. The Comets played vey well offensively and made timely blocks and digs saving points but Golden West

seemed to have too much fuepower in the end as the Rustlers broke a 12-12 tie scoring the last three points to pull out the match. The loss drops the Comets to 02 in conference. With their next two conference games on the road in a very tough and competitive conference, Palomar would have a tough uphill battle winning the conference if they came backhome 0-4. According to coach McFarland, the team must show more consistency and stay injury free if

they are to break through in the win column and compete in the conference. ''Well we have had a lot of injuries and we have a lot of people playing in positions they are not used too. We are making some errors and because we are playing inconsistentit'smakingsomeplayersjittery andnotthatsureofthemselves. It's tough when you lose because you think of a million reasons why you lost, but I think what this teamreallyneeds the most is to

win some games. We have proven we can stay close; we were close against Grossmont and we were close again tonight, but once we get close then we have to put it away." Palomar will have another opportunity to try and close out a hard- fought match today when they play on the road at Irvine Valley college. The Comets' next home match will be March 5 against Rancho Santiago.

The Comets going up against one of the tougher teams in the state fell by the scores of 136-63 in the men'scompetition and 171-66 in the women's competition. Even though the team suffered a tough loss on the road, men'scoachJem McAdams saw some positive things come out of the meet. "I was very satisfied with the individual performances and the way the team worked together," he said. As for the individual achievements Palomar's Derek Ott came away with a first place in the men's 100-meter freestyle event, Ott followed that up with a second place ftnish 200-meter freestyle race. "I was very pleased with his performance," said McAdams.
